FSGG Appropriations: FY2012 Budget Request Fact Sheet

Overview
The Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) appropriations bill includes funding for
the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President (EOP), the judiciary, the
District of Columbia, and 26 independent agencies. Among the independent agencies funded by
the bill are the General Services Administration (GSA), the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Security and Exchange Commission
(SEC), and the United States Postal Service (USPS).
On February 14, 2011, President Obama issued his FY2012 budget request. The request included
a total of $49.68 billion for agencies funded through the Financial Services and General
Government (FSGG) appropriations bill, an increase of $3.24 billion over FY2010 enacted
appropriations and $4.93 billion over FY2011 enacted levels. For each title of the regular FSGG
appropriations bill, Table 1 lists the enacted amounts for FY2010, the President’s FY2011
request, enacted amounts for FY2011, and the President’s FY2012 request. FY2011 enacted
amounts may be revised as additional information becomes available.
